I love Lluvy. It means rainy in Spanish.

I also like Astrid, Clover Emmeline (NOT Emelene), Scarlett (two t's! Like Scarlett O'Hara). I like Bettie as a nickname for Elisabeth or Elizabeth -- don't cheat your child by giving her a nickname name!

Out of the boys names, Noam is the only one I like -- but I like it a lot.

Oh, and Amelie, is pronounced AH-mah-lee. There's an accent over the first e.

[queen-exene.livejournal.com]

thank you i'm picky about names too...

in almost every comment i'm like "just take out a few y's and you actually have a name" <3

Noam is one of my favorite's too, as is Astrid.

and I did NOT know what lluvy meant.

[queen-exene.livejournal.com]

sure!!

haha and what can i say about duck? i'm a francesca lia block fan.

[queen-exene.livejournal.com]

hey, thanks. i still have to look at the pronunciation before everytime i try and say it -- it just doesn't click with me, haha.

Interesting names, I like all of them except Duck...the poor kid will probably be made fun of ALOT.

Oh, and Amelie is pronounced like "Ah-May-lee". the acent above the first E makes it pronounced like "ay" instead of "eh" or "ee"

[lovablemess.livejournal.com]

I won't mention the correct pronounciation of Amelie, because it looks like everyone has taken care of it.

I like your name selections! I love Liam for a boy. When I was a camp counseler, I had a girl in my group one year named Noam, so now I tend to think of it as a girls' name. But it is still a beautiful name regardless.

I love Scarlet (t) for a girl and definitely Jolie. One of my favorites.

[misshapen-fro.livejournal.com]

I know a lot of people named Betty! My grandmother and my MiL, for instance. Maybe it's just a regional thing. I'm pretty sure it's a given name for both of them, not just a nickname.

I like Lluvy, too, though.

My mom's maiden name was Duck, and her & her sisters got made fun of it endlessly just as a last name =/

I love Brody (my puppy's name =D ), Liam, Scarlet, Amelie & Jolie.

[flipflopsareluv.livejournal.com]

I agree..that might be a bad choice for a boy - getting made fun of..but it's your child. :) My maiden name is "Delp" and people would always say to me "Delp Needs Help"..yeah, not funny to me.

I love Amaya though. :)

If you wanted a name that would be pronounced Ah-may-lay, it would be spelled something like: Amelei.
